Hi everyone, this is my first post so please excuse anything I may do wrong! I have a problem when trying to load local files via the file:/// protocol within CHtmlView or CHtmlCtrl classes. I have an application with a docking window with a one of these views or controls inside into which I write a stream of HTML. If the HTML included <a href> links to web based URLS (eg "http://www.wrox.com") the link will work and popup but if the link is to a local file (eg "file:///c:/test.html") the links shows but clicking on it doesn't move the page to the link. Has anyone any experience of this?

Best wishes,

Paul

I'm not sure that the problem is due to the link
pointing to a file. The link works as long as
it is pointing to something.
Now because you are not using an html doc to test
this thing it could be that the stream of HTML you
are generating has some problem.

Try your app using some html file with a link
to a local file and you would find that the thing
works

I'm having exactly the same problem. I've tried everything. I can cut and paste the same text into IE and it'll work fine. If I change it to a www webpage address it works fine.

Did you find a solution?
